THE ORANGE BOWL PREVIEW: TWO DOLLAR BILLS AND CHEAP THRILLS

Today a very special guest joins us to preview the Orange Bowl: Chili, late of Block-C, the gone-but-not-forgotten Clemson football blog and Willy Korn Evangelical Church. Chili is currently occupied in his job of being the fourth largest human being in Shanghai, but did have time to crank out this expat review of tonight's unique mix of combustible football variables mixed with too much information about his cat's reproductive system.

Enjoy this special overseas import double lucky most pleasure.


There are things you should know about the Discover Orange Bowl, and I will tell them to you now in this post. Most of this will be about Clemson because I do not know or care about West Virginia.

DABO & HOLGO. It’s not a flamboyant Swedish acrobatic duo it’s a pair of young and energetic fortysomething head coaches making their BCS debut. Dana Holgorsen is 9-3 in his first season with West Virginia and is a student of some Mike Leach and Hal Mumme, among others. Dabo Swinney is 29-18 through 3 ½ years as head coach and is known for his folksy charm and is more excitable than a cat in heat. My cat is in heat now, so this is especially poignant to me.


OFFENSIVE MAGNIFICENCE, DEFENSIVE MALAISE.
The main reason anyone outside of these teams’ respective fanbases will want to tune into this game is the promise of a high-scoring SHOOTOUT. West Virginia is running up around 17th nationwide in offense while Clemson has rewritten their offensive record book (fairly easy, it’s all on Lotus Notes. Yes, Lotus Notes. They got a deal on it, okay?) under the nation’s highest paid assistant coach, Chad Morris. Geno Smith is the guy you need to know for the Mountaineers, while wunderkind Sammy Watkins has garnered a mountain of media coverage this year.

Star-divide



As for defense, I must say I’m at a loss. Upon doing research for this game I have come to the conclusion that the defenses will not be in attendance for the Orange Bowl. I am just assuming they will instead be substituted with posters listing each corresponding offensive player’s greatest fear. Mountaineer QB Smith will have to tackle his crippling fear of commitment, while Clemson WR Nuk Hopkins has reportedly been gravely concerned with facing his childhood neighbor’s developmentally disabled Alaskan Malamute, Drankenstein.



CLEMSON’S ORANGE BOWL HISTORY.
In the 1952 Orange Bowl, Frank Howard’s Clemson Tigers defeated the Miami Hurricanes. In 1982 Howard was enshrined in the Orange Bowl Hall of Fame as Danny Ford’s Tigers captured the national title by defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers 22-15. Another 30 years pass and Danny Ford joins the HOF while the Tigers once again compete for the Orange Bowl. The Bowl Committee can go ahead and stitch Dabo’s name on the side of the HOF orange sack or whatever for 2041, where the jarred head of Danny Ford mounted on a John Deere frame will lead the Tigers into the Bank of China Orange Bowl. Mark it. Done.



MOUNTAINEERS-TIGERS HAVE BOWLED BEFORE.
In the two teams’ only other postseason meeting and Danny Ford’s last game as Clemson head coach (in real life. He continues, however, to helm the Tigers in my award winning fan fiction series Undaunted Courage: A Continuing Football Epic of PONY Sneakers and Triumph) the Tigers’ defense sent Major Harris "running for his life," as his mother put it in a video I still masturbate to 27-7 thrashing.



CEREAL.
I enjoy a nice Big Gulp cup full of Fruity Pebbles. I fill the cup and then hamfist them down to compact them before filling up said Big Gulp once more. Add milk and you have yourself a stomach anchor to keep you firmly moored on the couch and not drifting off into the dangerous world of socializing with humans. You’ll thank me later, probably via Reddit.



THE LOST ART OF CORRESPONDENCE IS ALIVE AND WELL IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Not long after the bowl matchup was set, an enterprising Mountaineer fan penned a letter to Clemson. Well, they did as close as a West Virginian could do to writing a letter and included newspaper clippings of West Virginia players with captions written over them in Sharpie. Under a WVU roster we are informed that "THIS IS A REAL FOOTBALL TEAM," while an image of a punter was followed by that of their kicker with"YOUR SPECIAL TEAMS WON’T HELP!" scrawled on it. Look, jabs aside, I can only applaud this person for kicker shit talk.

Letter_medium




CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA IS BEST CHARLESTON.
I have often seen West Virginians get miffed when someone is speaking of Charleston and doesn’t specify whether they mean the one in South Carolina or the one in West Virginia. Here’s a handy tip to tell the difference: NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT VISITING CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA EVER. Well, outside of an arraignment.



TWO DOLLAR BILLS VS BURNING COUCHES
. Clemson fans are known to bring paw-stamped two dollar bills with them on road trips to visually demonstrate spending power to host cities. West Virginia fans are known for burning one of their many spare porch-couches after victories. Winner in Miami: two dollar bills. 8Ball the Tiger’s got the hookup, and you can snort Peruvian flake through a two dollar bill just as well as you can any other form of legal tender, but don’t even think about burning this couch, it’s Armani Casa.



PART WHERE I END THE POST.
Clemson is favored by 3. I couldn’t understand this Clemson team in a thousand lifetimes, but I’ll take them ATS here. (They will now lose)

Chili may be found at his Twitter feed, where he watches insane Chinese tv so you don't have to, or at his SBN page.

Are you talking about the Charleston debate?

“I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything. I do not understand that because I do not want a negro woman for a slave I must necessarily want her for a wife. My understanding is that I can just let her alone”

Did this once as a Center Back in U-16. Top of my circle in the air to about the top of the other circle. Goalie knew it was over all his defense but outside his box and waited too long to decide between running up and playing it without his hands or running back towards his goal. By the time he figured out the bounce was going over his head off the hard sun-baked California dirt it was too late…herp-derp-stumble-GOAL!

So much this

It always comes off as “Look at the dumb hick southerners. They’ve got no place better than Wal-Mart to display their little glass football trophy.” This is usually the one and only time I feel a deployment of the ‘Haterz’ defense is completely accurate and justified.

Reading Kings blog (Again)... Kinda glad to see people more frustrated with Westphal

NOT HAPPY to see them suggest Kings replace Westphal with Calipari. DON’T EVEN TRY IT.

What's the theory behind that?

His clear NBA success? His ability to reach Cousins — a kid who wasn’t at UK long enough to get to know him?

Seriously, Calipari is better off sticking to coaching in a league without a salary cap.

The latter.

And if that is the goal (have coach who “gets through” to Cousins and makes him better) then it makes some sense. The Calipari family became a surrogate/second family for Boogie.
Didn’t have a dad around through most of his youth if I recall, so having a male authority figure like that in a closer more father/son type situation helped him (my opinion at least).

There might be ten players in the NBA . . .

. . . so valuable that you would effectively let them pick the coach. Cousins isn’t one of ’em.

And yeah, Cal has no good reason to go back to the NBA

and that’s not just the selfish UK fan in me.
1. Can you imagine the dribble-drive offense working in the NBA very well?
2. He really does a great job of getting through to young guys and getting them more prepared to be in the NBA…can’t really take advantage of that when you coach in the NBA
